Attributed to Sir Thomas Wyatt by internal evidence and by R. A. Rebholz,[1] this poem was entered by H4. The poem also appears in Tottel's Miscellany under the title “The waueryng louer wylleth, and dreadeth, to moue his desire” (item 41).[2] Rebholz notes that this sonnet translates and adapts Petrarch's Rime 169. For instance, on line 8 Wyatt adds a personification of liberty imprisoned within the "walls" of love since "the speaker's hope denies him the liberty of breaking off the relationship; [but] his dread denies him the liberty of pursuing the lady more boldly."[3]
